Regent’s Park Terrace
Westminster
Overview
John Nash’s landscape and the palatial Grade I listed York Terrace, was designed to interact like an auditorium and a stage. With carefully framed views and staged settings, this ‘metropolitan picturesque theatre’ was intended to be enjoyed to and fro between the interiors and the park.
Our design celebrates the terrace’s layers of history. Concrete columns created to remedy extensive WWII bomb damage have been revealed, cast and multiplied by Rare to dramatic effect.

Rare have drawn upon the theatrical interconnectedness of the facade and park inwards, radically modernising and expanding on Nash’s original vision.

In Rare’s interior, the huge 60ft central room is now framed by multiple now ‘opened’ rooms, each with new views; through the columns, across the interiors and beyond across the park.

Rare have created a contemporary, inspiring, beautifully proportioned and detailed space.

Spaces with distinctively different characters cleverly connect through new views, through staggered levels and grand double and triple height spaces. Rare’s bespoke hand crafted furniture, delicately balances both Georgian and contemporary sensibilities.
The view from each room and of each room is created to be both a backdrop and a dramatic setting, for the unfolding scenes of the occupants life. By transforming the entire interior outlook of this expansive York Terrace apartment, Rare have staged a completely immersive experience of landscape and architecture.
